Urban surface design

Designing surface water runoff in urban environments

Shopping precincts

Precincts have many design requirements in common with other urban areas.  They also, however, have their own specific challenges.  Designed to cater for the different preferences of shoppers for both environment and linkage between shopping areas, they will frequently include both enclosed areas and spaces open to the elements.  Parking, pick-up and loading areas are also key parts of the precinct design that require careful detailed design.

As with all other areas of urban design, the management of surface water in precincts is critical to ensuring the safe movement of people, the protection of assets and the incorporation of comfort and amenity.

ACO’s range of drainage products includes a wide variety of channel solutions for the conveyance of water in pedestrian and trafficked areas.  This includes ACO StormBrixx for attenuation, ACO Q-Ceptor for hydrocarbon treatment, together with an extensive range of gullies and access covers.
